WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A new face greeted George Springer in West Palm Beach: Ex-Indian Michael Brantley.

The Astros’ biggest offseason acquisition had been at the facility during recent days, but spoke with the media for the first time Friday.

“We have a chance to win the World Series. It’s not a secret,” said Brantley, who was signed to a two-year, $32 million deal.
